An operating element arrangement for a motor vehicle, with an operating element and an attachment device for connecting the operating element to a body of the motor vehicle. The operating element is mounted on the attachment device so as to be displaceable along an actuation path. An adjustment device for adjusting the actuation path has a first adjustment element, a second adjustment element frictionally coupled to the first adjustment element, an adjustment element end stop for limiting the actuation path and a threaded device. The first adjustment element is mounted so as to be rotatable over a first range of rotation angles and the second adjustment element over a second range of rotation angles about a common axis of rotation.

A key of a keyboard and a low travel dome switch utilized in the key. The key may comprise a key cap, and a low travel dome positioned beneath the key cap, and operative to collapse when a force is exerted on the low travel dome by the key cap. The low travel dome may comprise a top portion, and a group of arms extending from the top portion to a perimeter of the low travel dome and at least partially defining a tuning member located between two of the group of arms. The low travel dome may also comprise a group of elongated protrusions. Each of the group of elongated protrusions may extend from one of the top portion, or one of the group of arms. At least one of the group of elongated protrusions may extend into the tuning member.

An input device includes: a switch unit that has a fixed contact and a movable contact placed so as to be movable away from and toward the fixed contact; a rubber member provided so as to be elastically deformable, the rubber member pressing the movable contact; and a slide member placed so as to be movable so that the slide member can press the rubber member. The rubber member has a first load generating part, which presses the movable contact, and a plurality of load adjusting parts disposed so as to enclose the first load generating part. The slide member has a first pressing part, which presses the first load generating part, and a plurality of second pressing parts, which press the plurality of load adjusting parts.

An operation input unit includes a board unit including a switch, and a base. An external force application portion moves by a button portion being pushed, and changes an open or closed state of the switch by varying an external force acting on the board unit in accordance with the movement. A board deflection portion forms a space between the board deflection portion and the base in a state that the button portion is not pushed, and deflects toward a movement direction of the external force application portion by the external force application portion moving by the pushing of the button portion.

Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products are provided for a user input device, such as a game controller, that includes a finger-pressable (tactile) switch. The switch is adjustable to change the amount of force used to actuate the switch. In an example implementation, a tactile switch comprises a housing, a button interposer, a dome switch, and an adjustment mechanism. A user or other entity may press the button interposer. The dome switch is contained in the housing, and is actuated by the button interposer being pressed. The adjustment mechanism is contained at least partially in the housing, and is configured to enable an amount of force used to press the button interposer to actuate the dome switch to be adjusted.

A keyboard device includes a base plate having a base plate body, a top plate, an adjustment module, at least one keycap, a sensor module, at least one pushing member, and at least one scissor-switch module. The top plate has a top plate body cooperating with the base plate body to define a movement space. The adjustment module has an intermediate plate body, and a torsion resilient member having a biasing portion. The scissor-switch module includes a first frame unit having a first frame member and a pressing block. The intermediate plate body is movable in the movement space between a first pressure position, where the biasing portion of the torsion resilient member is disposed outside of a movement path of the pressing block, and a second pressure position, where the biasing portion of the torsion resilient member is disposed on the movement path of the pressing block.

A push button device is adapted for accommodating a substitute pushing module, and the substitute pushing module has a substitute installing plate, and a substitute cap body. The push button device includes a pushing module, a bottom plate, a keycap, a scissor-switch module, and a sensor module. The pushing module includes an installing plate and a cap body. The bottom plate includes a bottom plate body, two limiting portions, and a plurality of lower pivoting joint portions. The limiting portions are adapted for detachably engaging the substitute installing plate of the substitute pushing module to secure the substitute pushing module on the bottom plate when the pushing module is removed.
